Does anyone know what scale Duane uses? Besides the blues, I mean the major sounding scale.
Ramblin' Man
Dickey Betts
CHORUS:
G F C G
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man,
G C D
Trying to make a living and doing the best I can.
C G Em C
When it's time for leaving, I hope you'll understand,
G D G
That I was born a Rambling man.
VERSE 1:
G C G
My father was a gambler down in Georgia.
G C D
He wound up on the wrong end of a gun.

And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus,
G D G
Rolling down highway forty-one.
CHORUS

VERSE 2:
G F C G
I'm on my way to New Orleans this morning,

Them Delta women think the world of me.

Of course he doesnt stay in one scale all the time.

Ionian (major)
Dorian
Phrygian
Lydian
Mixolydian
Aeolian
Locrian
And no the sentence doesn't make a lot of sense, but it works.

I usually play most of their major key stuff with the pentatonic plus the 4th.jackr wrote:I was working on Blue Sky the other day and I believe that was a mostly Major Pentatonic.+1
